HCV-Induced miR-21 Contributes to Evasion of Host Immune System by Targeting MyD88 and IRAK1
25 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
Upon recognition of viral components by pattern recognition receptors, such as the toll-like receptors (TLRs) and retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like helicases, cells are activated to produce type I interferon (IFN) and proinflammatory cytokines. These pathways are tightly regulated by the host to prevent an inappropriate cellular response, but viruses can modulate these pathways to proliferate and...
